Endometriosis As a Cause of Infertility

Endometriosis is one of the highest recorded conditions related to infertility. About 75% of total infertile cases are caused by biological make-up problems, including utero formation and pelvic conditions.

About 30% to 40% of the women suffering from Endrometriosis are also reported to be infertile. Though the relation of endometriosis and infertility is yet to be established, the presence of masses of tissues and scarrings in the pelvic and utero area brought on by the conditions is one of the many causes of infertility.

Endometriosis is defined as the condition wherein Endometrium tissue grows and lines not only the uterine linings, but also organs like intestines, pelvis, vaginal walls, fallopian tubes, etc. These deposits in unlikely areas cause menstruation to backflow onto the fallopian tubes and cause scarrings along the way. These abrasions have been pointed to play a role in infertility.
